It's a Food Blogga Give-Away for Gourmet Frozen Herbs

We have all experienced it. You buy a bunch of bright green fresh basil or parsley at the supermarket on Sunday and by Wednesday, it's all wilted and brown.

That's why I'm pleased to introduce you to Daregal Gourmet Herbs, a company specializing in fresh frozen herbs. That's right. Fresh herbs are chopped, washed, and packaged in user-friendly containers. Daregal offers basil, parsley, cilantro, dill and oregano as well as three spice blends.

Want to try some yourself? Well, here's your chance. Two lucky Food Blogga readers will receive four different spices from Daregal. Here's what you have to do to win:

Just tell me what your favorite herbis by the end of the day Saturday, December 20, 2008. That's it.

Two winners will be randomly selected and announced in a future post next week, so please check back. Don't have a blog? Just leave an active email address where you can be reached. Also, winners will need to provide their real names and mailing addresses. My apologies to my international readers, but given the nature of the prize, winners will have to be limited to US residents.

Hmmm... I love both basil and dill, but if I have to pick one, it would probably be basil. And I really like parsley too, though it seems to get overlooked/taken for granted... but it's so versatile! (Really, my preference is for anything but cilantro.)

Basil, all the way. I live in an apartment, so I can't grow it the way I'd like to, but my mom plants 15 bushes every year and makes Pesto in the fall. When I open up one of the jars, it's like summer has arrived all over again.

Favorite single herb is cilantro; the smell at the store makes me swoon LOL.

Fav herb mix is Bell's Seasoning, which no one where I live has ever heard of, but I bet you might have, since you grew up in RI, where my mother's from. I read that Martha Stewart used it when making stuffing with Jennifer Garner.

How is the winner going to get frozen herbs delivered? I don't keep up on some things, and didn't know frozen things could be shipped.
